Ming Hsu Robinson (Swimming, 1980-84)
Ming Hsu Robinson was all about excellence as a swimmer and scholar as she shined in the pool and in the classroom with equal success. By doing so, she helped blaze a trail that female student-athletes continue to follow today. Considered at the time as unquestionably the greatest swimmer in the school's history, Ming arrived on the campus from California during an era when women's varsity athletics were in their infancy. She helped the Commodores to an NCAA Division II championship while preparing for a career in medicine, graduating cum laude. She graduated from Vanderbilt's School of Medicine with a Doctor of Medicine Degree in 1988 and is now in private practice as an Obstetrician-Gynecologist in Laguna Hills, Calif.
